270 Queens marries the charm of classical architecture with the modern conveniences desired by today's discerning buyers, on a rarely found double lot offering expansive grounds and extraordinary outdoor living spaces. Built in 1940, this stately home was designed by the Palm Beach architect Howard Major, a passionate advocate of classical American residential building design. The home offers numerous gracious living spaces, including a formal dining room, living room, library and kitchen/family room. The property was lovingly restored, rebuilt and expanded to the highest standards by local builder Tim Givens. Many modern features were added including an elevator, impact glass, new red oak floors and all new mechanical systems. At the same time a guest cottage, second garage and large swimming pool were constructed. The main house offers five bedrooms with en suite baths; master suite has large marble his and her baths and walk in closets. The second garage has a lift to accommodate up to three cars with an entrance onto Colonial Lane, in addition to the two car garage attached to the main house.
